normally take a size 14 EEEEE, ordered that size & it was too small. Traded for a 15 EEEE, the length is perfect, they could be a little wider but they will stretch out a little. Just proves the are making them smaller to save a few bucks. It's the manufacturer, not the retailer. Found this to be true with Sketchers brand also.

Still need some time to form an opinion on these. I have custom orthotics & am currently using them without the cushion insoles that come with the shoes. All good so far!

My very day footwear. Like everything except the inserts. I replaced them with better ones

I love the 608 for fit and comfort. The only thing that keeps this from being 5 stars is the lack of colors available in suede. In the past, I have purchased suedes in black, blue, and gray. I miss them.

I needed a new pair. My last NB lasted at least 7-8 years. this time I ordered wide width due to swelling of my leg. They fit fine, but still a little tight around the toe area.

I'm happy with this product model so far, but I am still breaking them in. But so far so good!

I use the 608's for cross training only. Had to cut the insole in half & insert my Birkenstock Birko Balance arch supports as there is no "built in arch". I've been wearing the 857 series for years & thought I'd give these a try. I'd read they would be good for those with high arches & supinate. They are quite comfortable but the sole is very light weight & don't have much support.

Just what I expected, a great shoe. The fit is good but is runs a little wide at the heel.

The 608 V5 will be a general wear product but not on a daily basis. Like the 608 V4s, they provide comfort but more important, support. These seem to be a bit wider than the 608 V4 but not so much that my foot moves a lot in the footbed. For daily use, I don't anticipate a problem, but if I were to use these for weight or cross training, it might be different - especially if side loading with lateral bounds and such. The soles are fairly skid resistant on 'normal' surfaces, too!

Everyday shoe. Seems crazy that I am instructed to write more as if I am wearing every day that should say it all...

I like these! More cushioning than some. I put in Spenco insoles for more comfort.

I am using these sneakers at work with casual. They are a little narrow towards front compared to the other colors.

Good fit, comfortable for working out and wears well. Bought Wide, which was good choice. Holds up well, plenty long shoelaces! Sneaker is a little heavy if using just for walking,

I have been wearing these sneakers for quite a while and until this pair, was very happy. I don't know what happened with this pair, but the feel more like cardboard glued together than the quality material I am used to. I will be trying another pair and hope that the quality is better.
